Marshall replaces Frylinck in Durban Heat squad
He will join a squad that includes England’s Alex Hales and Ravi Bopara, South African T20 star David Miller as well as former Protea Kyle Abbott.
TOP-ORDER batsman Wesley Marshall will replace Rob Frylinck in the Durban Heat squad for the upcoming Mzansi Super League after the veteran seamer was selected to play in the T10 tournament in Abu Dhabi.
Marshall shone in the recent CSA Provincial T20 Cup where he helped Easterns to their first triumph in the competition. The hard-hitting opener bashed 87 in the final and followed that up with some impressive scores in first class cricket, most recently a 98 in the second innings of the Momentum Multiply Titans’ clash with the VKB Knights.
He will join a squad that includes the likes of England’s Alex Hales and Ravi Bopara, experienced South African T20 star David Miller as well as former Protea Kyle Abbott. To have players like these around him and a coach like Gary Kirsten Marshall believes he can only benefit.

CEO of KZN Cricket Heinrich Strydom was disappointed to lose Frylinck but is excited about what Marshall brings to the table.
“He was one of the standout batsmen during the CSA Provincial T20 and although it’s tough losing such an experienced player in Robbie, to be able to replace him with an explosive batsman is exciting. We have made sure that we have all our bases covered across the pitch and Wesley will just add another exciting string to our bow,” he said.
The Durban Heat get their Mzansi Super League campaign underway with a home game at Hollywoodbets Kingsmead Stadium against the Tshwane Spartans on Saturday, 9 November at 12.30pm. Visit: www.durbanheat.co.za.
